Abstract

In 2017 over  2.6  billion  data  records  have  been  compromised  globally¹.  Unlike genetic data collected in a hospital, the information that Saliva direct-to-consumer DNA tests gather about you is subject to general data privacy protection laws around the World. Which places some restrictions on how platforms & healthcare providers can share information about their users, but usually these laws are very dificult to enforce/proof and fail to proactively protect the data owners from cybersecurity breaches that these providers suffer because they centralize millions of DNA data sets and become a “mine of gold” for hackers. Once the data is out, you cannot change your DNA.

Genobank.io is a decentralized network capable of storing digital signatures in a blockchain representing consent over the use of genomic data and the corresponding encrypted digital repository for each individual/patient.

Genobank.io aims to become the most trusted platform/network to store and share genomic data by keeping track of its provenance and facilitate tools for bioinformaticians, laboratories, health institutions, government agencies and other organizations to collaborate with “privacy preserving” large-scale precision medicine research programs  globally.
